Case Study: Sky News Arabia builds a 400-person team on time with Cazar Sniperhire

Sky News Arabia uses Sniperhire to hire its specialized staff in time for their Spring 2012 launch.

Sky News Arabia, a joint venture between BSkyB and ADMIC, needed to build its newsroom and support operations from scratch and hire 400 people in just 16 months for its Spring 2012 launch. To manage a high volume of applicants fairly and efficiently, the company chose Cazar’s Sniperhire recruitment solution to support structured screening, selection, and tracking across a wide range of roles.

Cazar implemented Sniperhire in about a month, integrating it with job boards, online applications, automated screening, and a multi-interviewer grading process. The result was 400 hires achieved on time, only 6 sourced through agencies, and significant cost savings that paid for the system within 3 months; Sky News Arabia also built a private talent pool of 24,000 applicants in 10 months.
